Understanding Stress

Be positive, life can be jolly In spite of its complexities Advised the doctor. Mother’s Little Helpers are folly, They won’t score any of life’s niceties Continued the doctor. And you wonder, does he (she) understand What I’m saying or am I just a name In the computer. Perhaps understanding is banned, You’re just a patient, they’re all the same In the computer. So spill it over a caring friend Who’ll reassure you, you’re not round the bend, Who’ll support you till the miseries end Without a computer. (Fortunately, my doctor is not like this)

Elisabeth, I find that writing (and reading) poetry has become my Mother's Little Helper for dealing with stress. It's certainly healthier! Love this charming little insight poem ~ John

I'm in complete agreement that reading and writing poetry are both a tonic and uplifting. And there are no side effects! Thanks for your comment.
